Saving to Public Through Eve- ning World Plan Would Total $76,500. The Evening World, through its market expert, P. Q. Foy, to-day of- fered the city 5,400,000 April eggs to be sold to the people of the city at 50 ents a dozen. Commissioner of Markets Day says thet he will handle the eggs if it can be determined that the people want to buy them. He will send ten cases to each public school station and will allow any woman handling them 30 cents a case, or $3 for the work, rep- resenting the one-cent profit the city would make on each dozen sold. very best of all storage eggs. chickens during that month are fed on the most hutritious food, They get no grass during that month, noth- ing but good substantial food.” This price will represent a huge saving to consumers, on the fair price list issued by the Federal Food ‘Arministrator, who sets 67 to 69 cents @ dozen as the legitimate price to be demanded by dealers. On this basis, the reduction to the consumer would be about $76,600. Delivery of the eggs is guaranteed in writing by George W. Martin & Bro., of Nos. 7 and 9 Harrison Street. ‘The eggs are offered for distribution through the public school centres, operated by Cociralarioner of Mar- kets Jenathan C, army foods. The price to the city, payableafter the eggs have been sold and the money received, is 49 cents a dozen, allowing one cent a dozen overhead for expenses. Numerous complaints have been re- ceived by Food Administrator Arthur Williams of violations of the ess prices in the fair price lists issued by him, and he has had to hold special hearings with butter and egg dealers, in his effort to enforce the prices, The distribution of millions of eggs at @ price far below that quoted by the administrator is calculated to bring down the prices and establish a low level record in the delirium of price boosting. The text of the written offer by Martin & Bro, Is as follows: “Mr, P, Q. Foy, Food Expert, New York Evening World. “Dear Sir: Confirming conversation with you, we hereby agree to supply the City of New York with five hua- Gred (500) cases daily for the next thirty days of the finest quality April eggs, candied at the time of delivery, at 49 cents per dozen, delivered any | where in Greater New York in lots of not less than ten cases.
